Depending on what system you play on, the latest update to Minecraft will go by many different names. One thing is the same across them all though, this Minecraft update adds a ton of stuff. New items, enemies, animals, even new biomes are included in this massive update. It is hitting all console versions soon, including PS3, PS4, PS Vita, Xbox 360, and Xbox One.

The changelog for this update is pretty massive, so click here to see everything included in it. Keep reading for our own highlights though, as we pick out just a few of the big changes coming to Minecraft on consoles.
